FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY: IJF ENGAGED IN SCENARIO PLANNING TO REFINE POST-ELECTION STRATEGIES, OUTLINING LEGISLATIVE ADVOCACY PRIORITIES THAT THE ORGANIZATION COULD MOVE FORWARD BASED ON VARIOUS ELECTION RESULT SCENARIOS. THROUGHOUT THE YEAR, IJF COORDINATED WITH ALLIES TO ADVOCATE FOR FEDERAL IMMIGRATION REFORMS THAT WOULD PROVIDE EXPANSIVE PATHWAYS TO CITIZENSHIP FOR THE ESTIMATED 11 MILLION UNDOCUMENTED IMMIGRANTS IN THE U.S. THIS INCLUDED ADVOCATING FOR IMPROVEMENTS TO PROPOSED BILLS TO REMOVE HARMFUL CRIMINALIZING PROVISIONS AND BARRIERS TO IMMIGRANTS' ACCESS TO HEALTH CARE AND THE SAFETY NET, EXECUTING TARGETED DIGITAL ADVOCACY EFFORTS, AND RAISING VISIBILITY OF IMPORTANT LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS.


2020 ELECTIONS PROJECT: THE NILC IMMIGRANT JUSTICE FUND (IJF) CONTINUED ITS WORK ON A GROUNDBREAKING PROJECT FOCUSED ON THE 2020 PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS CYCLE, PROVIDING TESTED, PRO-IMMIGRANT MESSAGES TO PERSUADABLE VOTERS IN KEY BATTLEGROUND STATES, AS WELL AS TO POLITICAL CANDIDATES AND ELECTED OFFICIALS. USING THIS FOUNDATIONAL MESSAGING WORK, IJF ANALYZED PRIMARY CANDIDATES' IMMIGRATION POLICY PLATFORMS, PROVIDED FEEDBACK ON THEIR IMMIGRATION POLICY PLATFORMS, AND DEMONSTRATED TO ELECTED OFFICIALS THROUGHOUT ELECTION DEBATES THAT IMMIGRANTS ARE VALUABLE POLITICAL CONSTITUENCY, ESSENTIAL TO THE FUTURE STABILITY AND VITALITY OF THE COUNTRY. IJF DELIVERED MORE THAN 11.3 MILLION DIGITAL ADS WITH PRO-IMMIGRANT MESSAGES IN THREE PRIORITY STATES WISCONSIN, ARIZONA, AND NORTH CAROLINA REACHING OVER 130,000 VOTERS. THE 800+ VOLUNTEER IJF VOTE TEAM ALSO CONTACTED NEARLY 100,000 PERSUADABLE VOTERS IN THOSE TARGET STATES WITH PEER-TO-PEER TEXTS USING TESTED MESSAGES. IN WISCONSIN AND ARIZONA, THE NUMBER OF VOTERS IJF CONNECTED WITH WAS LARGER THAN THE FINAL MARGIN OF VICTORY FOR JOE BIDEN IN BOTH STATES.
